This appliance is equipped with a Schuko-type power supply cord. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating wall receptacle. See Figures 1 and 2. 0 two-wire receptacle Figure 2 If your electrical requirements are different, contact your authorized service center or a qualified electrician. Direct wire The dryer can be connected directly to the fused, disconnect or circuit breaker box with two-wire or three-wire flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with earthing wire). Do Not use two-wire with bare earthing wire. All current carrying wires must be insulated. A conduit connector must be installed at the junction box. USE ONLY lo-GAUGE SOLID COPPER WIRE. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. Allow four feet of slack in the line so the dryer can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Exhaust reauirements Fire Hazard . Do Not use non-metal, tlexlble duct. Do Not use metal duct smaller than 4 Inches (10.2 cm) In diameter. . Do Not use exhaust hoods wlth magnetic latches. Check that exhaust system Is not longer than specltled. Exhaust systems longer than specltled will: - Accumulate Ilnt. - Shorten the llte ot the product. - Reduce performance and result In longer drylng times and Increased energy usage. Failure to r0ii0w speclrlcatlons may result In a tlre. Do Not exhaust the dryer Into a chimney, turnace cold alr duct, attlc or crawl space, or any other duct used tar ventlng. Clean the exhaust system every year. Accumulated llnt could be tuel tar a tlre or cause molsture damage. Exhaustlng your dryer Indoors Is Not recommended. The molsture and llnt Indoors may cause: - Lint to gather lnslde and around the dryer and be a fuel tar tlre. - Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, palnt, wallpaper, carpet, etc. - Housecleanlng problems and possible health problems. Failure to tallow these lnstructlons could result In tire damage, personal InJury or health problems. Mobile home installation Maxlmum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and the type of exhaust hood.

Moblle home exhaust requlrements: The washer/dryer must have an outside exhaust. If the dryer is exhausted through the floor and the area under the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system must terminate outside the enclosed area. Extension beyond the enclosure will prevent lint and moisture buildup under the mobile home. Not recommended l If uslng an exlstlng exhaust system, clean llnt tram entlre length of exhaust system. Make sure exhaust hood Is not plugged wlth Ilnt. The exhaust system should be Inspected and cleaned yearly. Replace any vlnyl or metalllzed plastic toll exhaust duct wlth rlgld metal or tlexlble metal duct. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do Not use screws to secure duct. air flow good Four-Inch (10.2 cm) rlgld metal pipe is preferred. Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. I-I Metal tlexlble duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT. The metal tlexlble duct must be tully extended to allow adequate exhaust alr to ri0w. Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend duct gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible duct to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow. The exhaust duct can be routed up, down, left, right or straight out the back of the washer/dryer. Space requirements are provided on Panel E and on the rear panel of the washer/dryer. Use the straightest path possible to avoid 90 turns. For exhaust configurations other than those listed in chart the back pressure MUST not exceed 0.2 inches water column at the back of the washer/dryer. The back pressure should be checked by a qualified technician. Now start... With washer/dryer For exhaust systems not covered by the with your dealer Service check: The back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed 0.2 inches of water column measured with an inclined manometer at the point that the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. Exhaustlng the dryer ouklde is recommended. Recessed installation that is not exhausted outside must use Exhaust Deflector Kit Part No. 694609, available from your authorized parts distributor. See “Recessed and closet installation instructions,” Panel E, for unobstructed air opening requirements. Failure to follow thls InstructIon may result In personal Injury. Truck only tram the rear to prevent produce damage. 1 n Put on safety glasses and gloves. provision must be made for enough air for ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to the “Recessed and closet installation instructions” on Panel E. An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air from returning into dryer. The outlet of the hood must be at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object 12” (30.5 cm) that may be in the path minimum of the exhaust. !l!!!r Four-Inch (10.2~cm) outlet hood Is preferred. However, a 2-l/2 inch (6.4 cm) outlet hood may be used with short systems only. A 2- l/2 inch (6.4 cm) outlet hood can result in longer drying times than other hood types. For A permanent Installation, a statlonary exhaust system Is required. W Remove cardboard shipping base. Exhaustlng the dryer through the slde of the washer/dryer requires the use of Side Exhaust Kit, Part No. 279823, available from your authorized parts distributor.
